    My esthetician recommended that I start using an "oil free" & "silicone free" primer as I was getting some pore congestion on my chin and under my lower lip. I had attributed these little breakouts...

    I've got oily skin and tried the original photo finish primer, didn't like it. I felt it wa too silicone-y and made my makeup feel heavy. I didn't even want to bother with this even though I hear...

    This product is too expensive for what it does, which is nothing. There is so much hype about it and I decided to try it out. I got the travel size because the full size was just too much. My face...

    This primer works but too pricey for me. Though I purchased the full size one. But I prefer more l'oreal to smashbox. Somehow this primer doesn't make my pores get tightening. But I love cuz this...

    This is my hg primer and I have used it for years. Nothing makes my skin look as airbrushed as this. I wish it would control oil better, but it still does make my foundation stay on much longer.

    This primer and the regular Photo Finish are both excellent. I find that I use this one the most though because it doesn't feel as heavy under my makeup. While the original primer is more...
